Looks like Assad and Russia defeated the U.S.
The Obama administration is allowing moderate Syrian rebels, which the U.S. spent hundreds of millions training and equipping, to be slowly destroyed, experts warn.
The groups are targeted by Russian air strikes, and new attacks from a Kurdish militia known as the YPG that’s also backed by the U.S.. MORE

As you can see by this article that there are many similarities between what Christians believe and what the Islamic faith believe. They have the opinion that one does not go to heaven until the general judgement which coincidentally this teaching was also taught by Pope John XXII in the 1300’s until corrected by his successor. However as you can see they have a clause as stated here.
” – Warriors who die fighting in the cause of God are ushered immediately to God’s presence (Surah 2:159 and Surah 3:169); and
– “Enemies of Islam” are sentenced immediately to Hell upon death.” MORE
ST. LOUIS —St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson is urging priests to sever ties with the Girl Scouts, saying the organization promotes values “incompatible” with Catholic teachings.
The open letter to priests, scout leaders and other Catholics was posted on the archdiocese website Thursday. It urges parishes that host Girl Scout meetings to consider alternative programs that are more Catholic- or Christian-based. Continue reading
Based upon information obtained from a federal spending database, a Kansas City-area mosque with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood has received nearly $3 million in federal grants over the past several years.
According to The Daily Caller, the Islamic Center of Greater Kansas City has received $2,739,891 in taxpayer money via the Department of Agriculture, mostly by way of food stamps issued through the Women, Infant and Children nutrition program for the mosque’s Crescent Clinic.
The latest dispersal of federal funds on record occurred on Oct. 1 in the amount of $327,436. MORE
‘What I did wrong was just comparing the people to animals, but you know what I am telling is the truth,’ he said.
‘I mean I am just telling what the Bible says. We believe God and then we should honor the word of God.’ MORE
Harper Lee, who wrote one of America’s most beloved literary classics, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and surprised readers with a second book about racial injustice in the U.S. South after living a largely reclusive life for decades, died at the age of 89 on Friday. MORE
Last Sunday, Pope Francis was in Mexico visiting sick children in hospitals. It was amazing to watch him holding the little kids and praying with their mothers. As a Catholic, I was so proud of “El Papa.”
That was El Papa being El Papa, or the religious leader of my faith. He was reaching out to kids and their mothers and giving them some hope.
As he left Mexico, Pope Francis made a terrible mistake by saying that Donald Trump is not a Christian. I am not sure if he was answering a question or speaking at a meeting. He had finished a Mass on the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez border. MORE
Army rejects appeal of soldier who helped Afghan rape victimA decorated Army sergeant who protected an Afghan boy from a child molester could find out any day whether his actions will end his career in the military.
Sgt. First Class Charles Martland, a Green Beret with an 11-year Special Forces career, was stationed in Afghanistan in 2011 when the boy’s mother came to him and said she’d been beaten and her son raped by a local police commander. Martland and another soldier summoned the police official and, when the man laughed at them, threw him off the base. Martland and Daniel Quinn were both disciplined for their actions. MORE

Spanish police have arrested five directors of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) after they raided the lender’s Madrid offices as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering.
China’s large state-owned lenders have been dogged by allegations of improper conduct as they expand abroad and the probe into ICBC by police, the Spanish tax agency and Europol involves funds handled by a criminal group which the Interior Ministry says passed through the bank and were transferred to China.

“We find Manny Pacquiao’s comments abhorrent,” the company said in a statement. “Nike strongly opposes discrimination of any kind and has a long history of supporting and standing up for the rights of the LGBT community.”
I recently took a few road trips longitudinally and latitudinally across California. The state bears little to no resemblance to what I was born into. In a word, it is now a medieval place of lords and peasants—and few in between. Or rather, as I gazed out on the California Aqueduct, the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Luis Reservoir, I realized we are like the hapless, squatter Greeks of the Dark Ages, who could not figure out who those mythical Mycenaean lords were that built huge projects still standing in their midst, long after Lord Ajax and King Odysseus disappeared into exaggeration and myth. Henry Huntington built the entire Big Creek Hydroelectric Project in the time it took our generation to go to three hearings on a proposed dam. MORE
WOW! Pope Francis said Donald Trump was not “Christian” for wanting to build a wall on the US border… Trump responded.
Today Trump responded — “The pope will wish he was president if ISIS attacks the Vatican.”
NaturalNews) When you become a parent, life changes a lot. Suddenly, you’re responsible for another life and you realize that you can’t afford to do a lot of things that you used to. Obviously, there are pros and cons, but one constant is that every parent feels a burning need to be there for their daughter or son. Particularly while the child is young, it falls on the mother and father to help their offspring understand this world and how to get by in it. MORE
